W.A. Preamble!

Whiners Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience,

strength and hope with each other,

that they may solve their whining problems and help others to recover from whinerism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop whineing.

There are no dues or fees for W.A. membership;

we are self-supporting through our own contributed whines.

W.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, institutions,

TV, radio, or Oprah Book of the Month Club!

does not wish to engage in any controversy, yeah right!,

neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

Our primary purpose is to stop whine'n and help other whineaholics to achieve non whineity.

Whiners Anonymous Help (WAH!)

Do you whine, complain, or snivel? Are you a grumpy old fart?
Do you seek out others in taverns or internet chat rooms to whine about things?
Do people ever tell you to "like it or lump it"?
Are you asked, "What are you crying about?"
Do friends or family seem less likely to talk to you as the years go by?
Do you constantly tell other people they whine too much?

If you do any of these things, you may be in need of the WAH! 12 step program.
Whining is for tiny tots! Do you want to die a lonely old man/woman and whine about the prospect?
Stop whining now!

The WAH! 12 Step Program:

1. Admit you whine.

Just say, "I am a whiner."

2. Admit your whining is a problem.

It's not enough to know you whine--you have to realize it interferes with your life. Tell yourself, your spouse, and a friend that you have a problem with whining, that all you have ever done is whine. But don't whine to God! He already knows, all too well. God just sat back while you whined away the years. It's not His fault, after all, so don't go whining to Him with your problem.

3. Seek help to cure your whining.

Whining is but one of your many shortcomings, since you are a miserable excuse for a human being. Another shortcoming is you can't do anything for yourself, otherwise you would not whine. Go whine to somebody to help you--that's all you know how to do, remember?

4. Laugh at your whine.

Made a decision to turn your constant whining over to your sense of humor and learn to "lovingly and wholeheartedly" laugh at yourself each time you whine. Be prepared to be given the nickname "Loony Tunes," however.

5. Step out of your shoes.

Put your whine in perspective. There's a woman in Africa living in a mud hut with a grass roof and NO indoor plumbing. She lives off of $27 a year. She is totally blind and collects sticks for firewood, hoping the next stick isn't a snake. Now, what was your whine again?

6. Eat something nasty.

Eat some vegetable you hate without whining about the taste. And don't hold your nose or cover it with cheese!

7. Listen to other whiners.

Get a part job in a complaint department and listen to other peoples' whines 8 hours a day. But don't complain about your job! If you do, go back to step 3. Go a whole week listening to your wife/husband complain and just say "yes dear." If you can't, go back to step 2. Have kids and listen to them whine--that's how you sound to others. Pay back time! What goes around, comes around!

8. Make a victim list.

Make of list of all persons you thought you had harmed and hope to hell that they'd forgotten all the minuscule crap you'd blown out of proportion. Ask them if you ever whined, and then be prepared to take the return whine.

9. Beat the crap out of your parents.

After all, they raised a whiner. Yes, you started early, but it is not your fault!

10. Beware of falling off the wagon.

Resign yourself to the fact you are going to whine each time you try to stick to your guns when you know you are right. Once a whiner, always a whiner, they say. So either just admit your are wrong or go back to step 1. Cripes, you mean you really want to go back to step 1 after getting to step 10?

11. Whine to your dog.

They love you no matter how much you whine. It's called unconditional love. Unless of course they sense your foul mood. Disguise your whine by mixing the words "good dog" in every sentence. They only know so many words--those two they know. Otherwise, your dog would hate you like all the people you know.

12. Help others.

Help some other whiney-assed ******* with his whine problem. You get to whine about their whining. It's great.

so have at it!

whine, snivle, rant, bitch, and rave away!!!

Well timed, Suki!!

**Ann** · 03-19-2012, 06:41 PM

You are the first authentic post...the rest was just literature...doesn't count.

***Hevyn*** · 03-19-2012, 06:50 PM

Hey - I was trying to post at the end of the other thread & it said "Sorry this thread is closed". So technically I was first, but my post got lost in space. Not fair.

Least - Glad you liked the concert - good for the soul.

Ann - Thanks for the music, very soothing.

Amy - I hope the trip does you some good. Don't know how you concentrate on anything with all the distractions & drama.

Fands - How did the kids react to the new rug? Hope no one sharpens their claws on it.

suki44883 · 03-19-2012, 06:51 PM

Thanks, Ann. Okay then, I'll find something to whine about. There are no eggs yet at the NBG nest and, while I know there may not be any this year because the female is just now hitting maturity, I still want bobbleheads!!!!

Hevyn -

**Ann** · 03-19-2012, 06:59 PM

Oh me too, Suki!! There has been enough mating going on there...now we just need some results!! It's spring, we need babies.

suki44883 · 03-19-2012, 07:08 PM

Well, I went out on a limb and predicted that #4 is going to lay an egg either tonight or sometime tomorrow. She's showing all the signs...ravenous appetite (did you see the food fight between her and the male this evening??), grouchiness with the male, she has been on that branch for hours and hasn't yet slept.

I'm probably wrong, but I'm putting it out there anyway.

***Hevyn*** · 03-19-2012, 08:03 PM

LovesToTravel · 03-19-2012, 09:14 PM

I want eggs too!

**Ann** · 03-20-2012, 03:22 AM

**Ann** · 03-20-2012, 03:37 AM

More mating on the love branch this morning, Suki...the eagles that is.

johnny2times · 03-20-2012, 03:40 AM

**Impurrfect** · 03-20-2012, 08:45 AM

sm was wearing sunglasses when I woke up..in the house. I didn't ask. I was telling dad what my boss said about the cable provider we are changing to next week (boss has it).

Dad said he was trying to find sm a dr "because she can't see out of her eye" and when he asked me what to look under, she snapped "just forget it, I'm not going!!" She'd already snapped at me when I asked if the a/c was on (I rarely touch the thermostat unless it's really really hot or cold).

I did tell dad what to look under for what type of dr. then quickly retreated to my room.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Fandy · 03-20-2012, 09:34 AM

this SM seems to make a career out of going to doctors and ER's...sorry that is not very charitable of me. but your father expends a lot of energy on playing fetchnstep for her.

it's Scarey Scale Tuesday again..... i don't see much of a change on my own scale, sigh maybe a lb. i guess I am destined to never eat chinese food again...or milano cookies.....or bite the ears off of the chocolate bunnies...( i think the ears taste best)

***Hevyn*** · 03-20-2012, 01:49 PM

Welcome Johnny2times - Do you not have a whine? Surely you can find something to moan about

Hard to find a whine today - in the 70's & all the spring flowers are popping up. Could winter really be over?

I know, Fands. I eat a piece of cake & it's a 5 lb. weight gain (or so it seems...) I want Godiva Easter candy. I will, however, accept Reese's or Cadbury eggs.
